    LainieH - You'd need to make a custom component, here is a TKB explaining this.

    If you would like to find the X most recently started threads in a board that have not been marked as solutions, you would probably want to make this last call and then loop through the response <thread> nodes looking for <solution> nodes that have no child nodes.
